Giant Sculptures Large Contemporary Reading Bull and Figure Bronze Sculpture 200cm, dark patinated bull rearing to read beside a golden-brown seated man.
Large Contemporary Reading Bull and Figure Bronze Sculpture (Companion Piece) - 200cm $126,17100
Description

A monumental two-figure composition cast in dark patinated bronze, standing 200cm tall and weighing 800kg, this extraordinary piece depicts an oversized bull rearing up on its hind legs to read an open book, while a seated male figure reads quietly alongside it. The contrast between the near-black bull and the warm golden-brown human figure creates a striking visual tension that rewards close inspection. Rounded, voluminous forms give the bull an imposing physical presence that anchors any large outdoor space.

This piece is a companion sculpture designed to pair with our Life-Size Contemporary Bull and Man Reading Bronze Sculpture - 250cm, sold separately.

Cast Bronze, Hand-Finished Patina

Both figures are produced using the traditional lost-wax casting method, which captures every textured surface detail of the original sculpted forms. The bull carries a deep near-black patina applied through controlled chemical finishing, while the human figure is treated to a warm golden-brown tone. Each surface is hand-worked after casting to ensure the contrasting patinas read clearly at monumental scale. The result is a piece that holds its presence from a distance while rewarding close inspection with surface richness and casting quality.

Designed for permanent outdoor installation, this sculpture is suited to waterfront promenades, civic plazas, corporate courtyards, and large estate grounds. The low integrated bench-style base forms a natural invitation for viewers to sit alongside the composition, extending its narrative into the space around it.

Handmade to Order, Fully Customisable

Both patina treatments are available in alternative finishes. Scale adjustments and fully bespoke narrative compositions are available on commission. Contact us before ordering to discuss placement requirements, foundation specifications, or patina customisation.

Production Time

Every sculpture is handmade to order by our artisans — we do not mass-produce.

  • Standard sculptures: approximately 3–4 weeks from order confirmation.
  • Bespoke commissions (custom sizes, finishes, or fully custom designs): approximately 5–6 weeks from design sign-off.

Production time is separate from delivery time.

Free Worldwide Shipping

  • Sculptures 50cm and above — shipped by sea freight. Typical delivery 6–8 weeks after production is complete.

For larger sculptures where faster delivery is needed, air freight is available at additional cost — contact us before ordering for a quote.

Delivery to Your Address

Delivery is to the door or curbside at your shipping address.

For larger sculptures shipped by sea freight, the carrier will contact you in advance to arrange a delivery window. Please ensure someone is available to accept the delivery and that the property has suitable access for the size of the piece.

Once the sculpture arrives, you are responsible for positioning it in its final display location. For larger or heavier pieces, we recommend arranging two people (family, friends, or a local moving service) to help with placement.

International Orders & Customs

For orders shipping outside the United Kingdom, any customs duties, import taxes, or local fees at your destination country are the responsibility of the customer. These charges are set by your local authority and are not included in our shipping cost.

If you have questions about customs for your specific country, contact us before ordering and we can advise on typical charges for your region.

To start a return, contact us within 30 days of receipt. Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is at the customer's cost.

Bespoke and custom-commissioned pieces are non-refundable once production has started, as they are made specifically to your specification.

The metal of antiquity

Solid Cast Bronze

Every one of our cast bronze sculptures is poured in solid bronze, the alloy sculptors have prized for more than five thousand years. It is heavier, warmer and far more enduring than any resin imitation, giving each bronze statue a depth and presence that only real metal can.

Poured by hand

Foundry Cast

Each piece is cast in a working foundry, where molten bronze is poured at over a thousand degrees, then cooled, broken out and worked by hand. It is a craft refined over centuries, and it is the reason every bronze sculpture carries the mark of the people who made it.

Made to your measure

Fully Bespoke

Have something specific in mind? We can scale the size, choose the patina and take on full commissions, casting a one-off bronze sculpture to your exact brief. Tell us what you picture, and our artists will make it.

A finish that lives

Hand-Patinated

Colour is brought to bronze by hand. Our finishers work each patina with heat and patience, so no two pieces are ever quite the same. Left outdoors, that patina keeps evolving, softening from bright metal into the deep greens and browns that collectors prize.

Built to outlast us all

Weatherproof for Life

Bronze has survived three thousand years of history, and ours is made to do the same. It shrugs off rain, frost and sun, which is exactly what makes bronze garden statues such a sound investment. Every piece is backed by our lifetime guarantee.

Anywhere in the world

Free Worldwide Shipping

Solid bronze is heavy, so we handle the hard part. Every sculpture travels by fully insured worldwide sea freight and arrives at your door in perfect condition, with nothing to pay on delivery.

Two large, black bear-shaped sculptures stand indoors near a window with a view of a yard. One sculpture is in the foreground with its back to the viewer, and the other faces forward, creating a mirrored effect. Trees and a chair are visible outside.
A shiny metallic bear sculpture stands on the corner of a modern buildings patio, mirrored by another similar black figure in the foreground. The area features minimalistic architecture with large glass windows.
